Verdict history
| When | From | To | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-30 18:00 UTC | 2026-11-03 | 2026-12-21 | Checked in the one-time pass of 30 Oct 2026: still open. The record holds CENTCOM's account but no independent measure of Iran's anti-ship capability after 21 March; attacks on ships continued in later weeks (ev-20261027-eqm1, ev-20261027-52ac). Next check on the ladder from 2026-03-21 (7 days, 30 days, then quarterly). |
